COMBINED CARPENTERS BENCH PIN, GUIDE, ANDKNlFE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters .Patent No. 521,234, dated June12, 1894. Application filed August 28, 1893- Serial No. 484,168. (Nomodel.)

in gs, an d to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a combinedcarpenters bench pin, guide and knife, and it consists in thecombination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully describedand claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the front end of acarpenters bench showing the bench vise and the stay pin bracket inposition. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a portion of Fig. 1.- Figs. 3,4and 5 are respectz 5 ively a side elevation, a rear view and front viewenlarged of my improved stay pin bracket, and Fig. 6 is an enlargedtransverse section of a portion of said stay pin bracket.

In thedrawings a represents a carpenters bench, b the bench vise and c aforward stationary stop arranged in thetop'of the bench in the usualmanner.

In the place of the usual stationary rear pins, I have invented aremovable stay pin bracket d, consisting of two portions 6 and farranged at right angles to each other. The longer portion e, which'rests against the side of the bench, is slotted asat e. In this slot 6'moves the bolt h provided with a square or otherwise enlarged head h,adapted to confine the bolt h in the v groove or slot 6. Secured on thebolt h, if desired, by a nut h is placed a spool or annular collar g,and on the end of the said bolt a bracket or guide 71 for the purposehereinafter described. The portion f of the stay pin bracket disparallel with the top of the bench at and is provided with one or morepins in adapted to secure the bracket cl firmly to the bench, when thepor- 50 tion f is driven down on the top of the same.

In the portion f may also be drilled a countersunk or other hole fthrough which a screw or nail may be passed in order to more firmlysecure the bracket d to the bench. At the end of the portion fispivotally secured as at m a bench knife Z. The lower end of the slot 6terminates in a recess e of a size suffi-' cient to allow the removal ofthe bolt h and its head h.

In operation, when the work to be done consists in planing for instancethe edge of a board 8, the bracket d is fastened to the bench at aproper distance from the end thereof, and the board is confined withinthe vise and between the portion 6 of the bracket and the guide orbracket 71 at the end of the bolt h. The lower edge of the board issupported on the spool gwhich is adjusted withits bolt h in the slot 6'of the bracket until it is the required distance below the face of thebench. The spool g is of a width corresponding to the thickness of theboard 3 and it is manifest that the carpenter may have spools and boltsof any size required, which may be easily placed in the slot e orremoved therefrom by passing the head 71. of the bolt through theenlargement e at the end of the slot e. Where the work to be doneconsists in planin g the face of the board, one end of the board isplaced against the stationary stop 0 (see Fig. 2). The bracket (1 isthen secured to the bench at the required distance so that it justclears the other end of the board. The bench knife I is then pressedinto the work and the board is thereby firmly secured to the bench.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. An adjustable and removable stay pin bracket for carpenters benches,consisting of a slotted angle bracket provided with pins on one armadapted to enter the face of the bench to support and secure the bracketthereon and a support adapted to be raised or lowered in the slot ofsaid bracket along the side of the bench, and with a bench knifepivotally secured to the arm of the bracket which is secured to the faceof the bench substantially as described.

2. In a carpenters bench an adjustable and removable stay pinbracketconsisting of two portions at right angles to each other, one

portion being parallel to the face of the bench and provided. with pinsadapted to secure said bracket to the face of the bench and alsocarrying a bench knife which is pivotally secured thereto while theother is parallel to the side of the bench and slotted to receive aremovable supporting spool adapted to be adjusted therein, substantiallyas described.

3. The combination in the bracket d, of the slotted portion e andportion f, with the bolt h, spool g and lugz' slidingin the slottedportion e, and with the pins 7t and bench knife 1 secured to the portionf, substantially as described.
